Hisense Q8600 Thread

No Atmos won't work through that. Maybe Bluetooth but I doubt it

Both cost a lot and are not easily available in SA.

In any case they said it will be repaired by the end of the week so let's see

They can't repair VIDAA :ROFL:. Do yourself a favor and get a TV box. Even the new chromecast with dolby vision is R1.8k at GeeWiz.

I have a x96 air running coreelec but the movies with DV can be played natively on the TV over my network.

Also if it's available on Netflix I just play through there since I have a sub.

So with more use from my 8600 some kinks in its armour is being noticeable as to why this TV is "cheap"

The OS is limited ... Not much useable apps outside whats preinstalled. Also cant recall if any of the apps ever updated since ive got it

Youtube sound goes from normal to this weird spatial type of vibe. Feels a sw update can fix this (point above )

But bigger than the OS is the backlight ... It forms horrendous bloom sometimes around text or starfields ... And the light itself takes a while to turn off when moving between scenes. And is something noticeable and something that is distracting. The algorithm to manage light control could be tweaked to manage this

The Netflix and Youtube apps are always getting updated, now sure how though. I'm thinking because they're some type of HTML5 thing, where the UI gets updated but the core modules are the same.

Makro, November 2019, when they had the R10k online deals.

True,

I can compare it to my previous samsung tv that just recently got an netflix update.

The wifi is for sure better on the hisense as well, 2.4ghz gives me 29mbps, the samsung gave me 9-11mbps

So 4K is looking good
 
So turned blur reduction and judder reduction to zero and turned off ultra smooth.

Sport on dstv now, now looks better, the ball isnt trailing as bad anymore.
 
Guys just want to ask...how you all getting the latest firmware update ? I'm on V0000.01.00a.J1114

I see everyone is talking about a J1127 is it safe to flash this and is there any noticeable changes to picture quality
 
Excuse my ignorance, but does anyone know what the difference between the U7QF and U8QF is, and how these compare to the Q8600? I see Esquire has the 65U8QF for R17 000 and Takelot has the 65U7QF on daily deals. Thanks!

Biggest diff is the number of local dimming zones, U8QF has quite a lot more. And U8QF has 120HZ refresh rate.
